Sunday Project

It was a comfortable day weather-wise on Sunday, so I decided to work on a project during the yard sale. 

I set up a card table in the driveway, grabbed a chair from the deck, and made this LEGO flower bouquet.

It took me a couple days to decide on a vase to use. I think this ceramic pitcher is a good choice.

I love the combination of colors!

More Puzzling

I completed two jigsaw puzzles over the past couple weeks. I enjoy doing them. And usually once I start doing one, I can't stop. I say to myself, "Just one more piece...." — which usually turns into at least another hour working on the puzzle!

I bought the carousel puzzle (used) from the library, so I wasn't sure if I would have all the pieces. I finished putting it together today while I was still in my jammies and bathrobe. And, rats, wouldn't you know I was missing a piece. But then I reached into the righthand pocket of my bathrobe. Guess what I found there? 😄

Everything Went... Almost!

Yard Sale day # 2 wasn't as successful as yesterday, although we did enjoy the social aspect of it. We got to spend another day with our friends who do the sale with us. I finally met a new neighbor whom Lew has known for a while. Then another friend of ours stopped by while he was out for a walk.

When we were ready to pack up, we set aside a few things that we didn't want to put on the side of the road for free. Then everything else went to the free pile.

By dinner time, the only thing we had to retrieve from the side of the road was our sign that says, "FREE — Please Leave Sign!"

Yard Sale Weekend

Day one of our Labor Day weekend yard sale is in the books!

We are going to set up tomorrow, too, and see if we can get rid of more. Everything must go!

I needed to unwind after the sale, so I worked on a jigsaw puzzle and ended up staying up too late. I'm getting this post done just in time for the midnight deadline! 😂

ZERO

My countdown has been completed!

We had a pizza party at work as a send off for me. That was a good time.

Yard sale tomorrow. I only have four things to put in it, so I'm glad our friends have stuff to sell. I imagine Lew and Dad also have some items.

Liftoff!

ONE!

I was hoping to title this post "ONE & WON!"

ONE for my countdown. My last day at my current job is tomorrow.

WON because nephew Zack's football team (U. Maine Black Bears) had its first game of the season tonight. But they got beat 34-24. They were playing one of the top teams, though, so their showing was still pretty good. Looking forward to watching more of their games.

GO, BLACK BEARS!

Dad 583: The "News"

(Dad writes today. And my countdown is at TWO! ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Another pretty good summer day. Will get a rain storm from Ida tonight and tomorrow. Must mow the lawn Friday for our weekend yard sale! Weekend should be great weather. Weather experts have told us that!

 

Getting ready to visit Mary Lou for the afternoon. Will leave in a little over one hour. I still visit with her every afternoon and I keep her birdfeeders full of delicious seeds. The birds agree! Happy eating!

 

I'm listening to the news which I find deviates from my understanding of what we have just lived through. It is sure strange that people can have such a different understanding from what really is taking place. I'm sick and tired of our leaders telling us what happened, their claims seemingly in disagreement with what I've been watching.

 

The United States leaves NOBODY behind! That is what I thought. We'll see! Sounds like there are a lot more people still left in Afghanistan. (Probably a higher number of people than we've been told.)

 

That's enough for now.

 

Until next time!

 

Toodle Pip!

 

Derf!
